Get Chatty with God

Why is language so important you may ask? Language makes humans unique. We live in a world of language. We talk to our friends, associates, wives or husbands, our teachers, our parents, our rivals, even our enemies or total strangers. We talk face to face, and over the telephone, and you know what? Everyone responds with more talk back!! Hardly a moment of our waking lives is free from words, and then even in our dreams we talk and are talked to! We also talk when there is no one to answer us, we may think aloud or sing to ourselves.

This distinguishes us from animals. In some tribes in Africa, a newborn child is considered an animal and not fully human until he or she learns to speak their tongue?!! Wherever humans exist, language exists. The ability of human beings to acquire, know and use language is rooted in the structure of our brains!

God, the Author of everything living, created you and me with the ability to communicate! Isaiah 1:18 says, "Come let us reason together." God desires to chat with us! He wants us to interact with Him! Communicating is part of who He is and since we were created in His image, we are created with ability to speak with Him and with others. He shows Adam in Genesis right off the bat with how to communicate by commanding him to name the animals. God loves when we come to Him about anything and talk it over with Him. How easily I take words for granted, may you open my eyes anew to the wonders in your creation Oh Lord...
